Looks like it will go into the 'too difficult' bucket.
Not surprising really, since even the clever people at ISO don't seem to
have cracked it. See here <http://www.isotc211.org/address/address.htm>.
It would be nice to think that someone involved in OSM is also involved
with this ISO work.
For myself, I've invented a 'highway=name_only' tag & drawn a way with
'name=Addison Terrace'.
The JOSM terracer is happy with this, and it renders OK in Mapnik so it
will do for the time being.
I should think that Nominatim will ignore it.
Setting 'addr:housename=1 Addison Terrace' etc (or housenumber) just
seemed too clunky.
Thanks everyone.
